Description my scanner friggen ATE this. it distorted the friggen colors, i'm so pissed. and nothing makes it look better -_- the peaches came out like crap. they're not supposed to be that pinkish/orangish. and my one had is not that dark. god, my scanner SUCKS.

but yea, it's colored, and i added song lyrics to the background. The song lyrics are very important to the piece, because they're lyrics from my favorite bands, the bands and musicians that have influenced me. My influences are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, John Lennon, The Who, Afi, System of a Down, Incubus, George Harrison, Chuck Berry, and Queen. Jimi Hendrix is another one of my influences, but i forgot to put some of his lyrics in this peice Now, i shall type the lyrics here for you

These are the lyrics/songtitles written boldly. they're bolder cause they reflect my soul in some way... anyway, here's the bold lyrics: "If you want to find out what;s behind these cold eyes, you'll just have to pull your way through this disguise..." "I don't need no arms around me, I don't need no drugs to calm me..." "Some kind of solitude is measured out in you, you think you know me but you haven't got a clue..." "God is a concept by which we measure our pain (i'll say it again)" "Dazed and Confused" "Teenage Wasteland" "Borris the Spider" "Be-bop-a-lula" "War is Over (if you want it)" "Dark Horse" "I have Become comfortably numb"

And the rest of the lyrics: "Together we stand, devided we fall" "Four thousand hungry children leave us per hour from starvation, while billions are spent on bombs, creating deathshowers..." "Give peace a chance!" "Please don't wake me, no, dont shake me, leave me where i am, i'm only sleeping..." "Jai Gururu Deva, Om... Nothing's gonna change my world" "this is my line, this is eternal. How did i ever end up here?" "This Time Imperfect" "You see my pain is real, watch my world dissolve, and pretend that none of us see the fall. As i turned to sand, you took me by the hand and declared that love prevails over all" "go, johnny, go" "pinball wizard" "no one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes" "all you need is love" "helter skelter" "you may say i'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one. i hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as ONE" "i am the walrus, goo goo g'joob" "pardon me while i burst into flames" "creepy crawly" "why are you running away?" "Father! Father! Fall into your hands, i command my spirit, fall into your hands...why have you forsaken me, in your eyes forsaken me, in your thoughts forsaken me, in your heart forsaken me..." "am i the star beneath the stairs? am i the ghost upon the stage? am i your anything?" "singing in the ocean, i can hear the ocean's roar..." "i don't want to die, sometimes wish i'd never been born at all..." "if you're lonely, you can talk to me", and, finally, a simple word: "YES"

Again, my scanner raped this of it's color. it looks so much better irl...

and yes, this is ME

Love that song, first song on the wall "In the flesh?" i used that for my SN on msn once. I like comfortably numb better, as well why did you choos only to include "Dazed and confused" from that song?

You are so lucky,how would I like to have that Stratocaster.
"Go,Johny,go" aint that from a Johny Winter song? or is it Chuck Berry?
I see that me and you have a lot of the same infulences.
Anyway,great choice of music,I just hope that this music will never die.

'Jeh rocks m' socks. No question. And when you mentioned that the "peaches came out like crap", I am NOT ASHAMED to say I scrolled back up in search of the fruit. And was entirely confused.

Speaking of which, you know I love this picture! It's just so darn cool, and it looks like you, and everything about it is... erm.. COOL! And you did in in colored pencil. Ladies and gentleladies, a round of applause!

Although they're other people's words, the song lyrics add a new dimension to the self-portrait. Nice drawring, by the way. Did you plan the (white) lighting in your hair?

I suggest learning to master Photoshop for those subtle tweaks.

Wow! that's crazy...you like a lot of the same bands I do...and a lot of those quotes are inspirational to me as well...I never really knew what Paul was saying in "Across the Universe"...I always thought he was saying 'Like a rude day on'...but I guess not...you need some more Incbus man......
